If your animal instincts tell you to check out pigpenandink.com, it may be because owner Wendy Barnes has been nominated as a finalist in the 2014 Martha Stewart Ameri-can Made Awards contest.

Barnes, who moved to Plainville last No-vember, does artistic animal paintings with an extra detail that seems to make her an-imals come alive. “I was always an animal lover,” she said when she invited The Cit-izen to her home. “Teaching my daughter Lain about animals has re-sparked my inter-est, and I found that I like drawing them. I have so many options; my business grew from drawing farm animals for her.”

After starting out drawing just for chil-dren, Barnes has increased her business to include more artistic drawings for adults, due to the demand. But she is still attempt-

ing to “find her audience,” as she put it. She has been to several small craft fairs, and has two others coming up, including one in Avon.

Barnes first came in touch with her ar-tistic side during an archaeological dig in

The Town Council ap-proved several motions Mon-day night, including a $40,000 loan from the Economic De-velopment Agency to Caps L&P, a radio station in Plain-ville. A resolution was also set by the council for Oct. 6 to finalize the $950,000 grant from the State Department of Economic and Community Development for a potential artificial turf field at Plainville High School. The Board of Ed-ucation unanimously passed the vote to move ahead that same night.

In addition, more than $50,000 was approved for street repairs along Ledge Road between Roberge Drive and View Street, parts of Broad Street between Whit-

ing and Bohemia, Metacomet Road and Pinnacle Drive, as well as several other streets.

According to Town Man-ager Robert E. Lee, these are based upon recommendations from the Department of Pub-lic Works, and the work will be done by Sealcoating Inc., from Braintree, Massachusetts.

Plainville is also going to be purchasing a new Log-ging Recorder System for the Fire Department. According to Lee, the system may have been damaged during a light-ning strike in July, and the cur-rent system is no longer being manufactured. This is going to be covered through the Self Insurance Health Fund, which generated some discussion itself among council mem-bers (D) Chris Wazorko, (D)

The Board of Education met Monday night to discuss a variety of topics including the $950,000 grant from the Department of Economic and Community Development which was unanimously passed by the board that night. Now, the Town Coun-cil has to pass a resolution at its Oct. 6 meeting.

The grant would be used to install an artificial turf field at Plainville High School

“We stand united in sup-port of this project,” Superin-

tendent Jeffrey Kitching said.His view was supported by

board member Becky Tyrell. “This is going to serve us well in the future,” she said. “This is fortunate and good for the community.”

If the project moves ahead, Kitching suggested that a good way to keep the public up to date would be for the BOE to work closely with town departments through-out the process.

Fall preview: PHS teams hit the field this week

For those who plan on sup-porting their Plainville Blue Devils this fall, here is a brief overview of what each team will look like this coming season.

Boys soccerHead coach: Tim Brown

(seventh year).Assistant: Sam Riegluth.Last year: Following a reg-

ular season that saw the boys finish 10-6-1, the Blue Devils went on a tear in the postsea-son, making it to the Class M

semifinals where they lost to eventual champion Suffield 4-1.

Key losses: Forward Shane Pugliese, goalkeeper Alex Bawol, and defender Andrew Rottier.

This season: The senior midfield trio of Julius Brown, Quentin Lux, and Nick D’Am-ico will lead the ball con-trol offense that Brown’s teams run so soundly. Fellow seniors Adam Hushin and Brendan West will both see plenty of time in new starting roles as both a forward and goalkeeper, respectively. Ju-

nior Aleksander Zelasko and sophomores Joshua Thomp-kins and Grant Sarra will also produce for Plainville.

Outlook: Having the team’s first line of offense (Hushin included) and last line of defense (West) get comfortable early on is vital for the team’s success. While no one is questioning the group’s effort and determi-nation, replacing the likes of Pugliese and Bawol won’t be easy. However, Brown’s ball control has downright baffled foes in the past and should allow the team to continue to win while working out any kinks.

Another trip to the post-season will be expected from this squad; however, another trip to the semis is not. Should the team make it that far, they will have easily surpassed any expectations the average fan may have set for them.

Girls soccerHead coach: Leszek

Wrona (15th year).Assistant: Tiana Saraceno.Last year: The Lady Blue

Devils vastly improved from

the year before, finishing the regular season 7-9 before getting bounced by Plainfield 2-0 in the first round of the Class M playoffs.

Key losses: Danielle Angelillo, Danielle Dixon, Shea Echols, and Shayla Beausoleil.

This season: Another small senior class, comprised of Meagan Cameron, Brit-tany Ferro, and Sarah Grosse, will look to lead the team to back-to-back playoff appear-ances. Junior Julianna Christy returns as the team’s goal-keeper while fellow juniors Lexy Lopez, Stephanie Mar-tino, and Natalie Zajackowski will all look to help solidify the team on both sides of the ball. Sophomore Melissa Lux is an up-and-coming athlete that should also contribute greatly this season.

Outlook: Wrona said it best: “You can’t just replace Danielle Angelillo and Dan-ielle Dixon.” Both were so vi-tal to the team’s success last season and their absence will surely be felt throughout the 2014 campaign. However, this team should have more bal-

ance at the varsity level. This balanced unit could very well make the state tournament again. Should they fall short of that goal, it won’t be by much.

FootballHead coach: Chris Farrell

(fifth year, 20-21).Assistants: Chris Boland,

Scot Wenzel, Rob DeVeau, Brendan King.

Volunteer assistants: Tony Scotti, Dave Gaignard, Mack Litke, Jon Favreau, Matt Gingras.

Last year: The gridiron gang sported a .500 record on three separate occasions, but ultimately finished the season 4-6.

Key losses: Jeff Ziegen-hagen, R.J. Gross, Jason Monteleone, Matthew Mon-teleone, and Eric Fischer.

This season: A small se-nior class (12 total) will all be called upon to replace those that recently graduated, with Dante Correa at the top of that list. Correa showed promise as a running back last season; he had a three-

Quinn Christopher, and (R) Scott Saunders, council vice chairman.

In a previous interview, Lee told The Citizen that Dave Mathieu, who works for H.D. Segur and is the town’s “Agent of Record,” suggests having at least three months funds saved for potential claims, which amounts to $1.5 million.

Saunders stated previously that the current balance is around $300,000, and said at the meeting that he supported the Republican plan to put $500,000 a year over a three-year period into the town’s Self Insurance Health Fund, and that both sides need to come together on this.

“We all need to decide if this is something we need to fund or not, and at what rate. We have had this same discussion about other issues, that we have long running problems and we need to tackle them over a period of years,” he said.

Saunders continued, saying “if we look at what the SHIF fund balance is recommend-ing, this is going to take care of

that problem – all things being equal – in a three-year period. I don’t see a need to acceler-ate it.”

Both Christopher and Wa-zorko supported the idea of putting more than $500,000 a year over the next three years into the town employee health insurance fund.

Said Wazorko:“Putting more than $500,000

would give the council more flexibility, where if we don’t decide on $500,000, there is a different number out there and it allows us to approve that number without having to do another public hearing.”

Quinn suggested making a motion to add an additional amount of $250,000, which would make the yearly con-tributions $750,000 over two years, to which Lee said, that in previous discussions with Town Attorney Mike Mastri-anni, “the advice was that if a number was out there, you wouldn’t make it higher. If the council decided to appropriate a certain amount and make it lower after a public hearing, that was allowable but it had to be within a certain range.”

Chili contest at annual walkathon

The Plainville Library is participating in the first “Passport to Connecticut Li-braries” program sponsored by the Connecticut Library Association.

“This is a fun and easy way for us to take part in a state-wide event,” said Kimberly White, assistant director at the Plainville Library.

Each participating li-brary will offer a “passport” which patrons can first have stamped at their home li-brary and then at any of the 86 other participating librar-ies across the state.

At the end of the month, those who have had their passport stamped at at least five libraries are eligible to be entered into two draw-ings, Most Libraries Visited and a random drawing for all participants. The drawing will be for two adult prizes of $150 each and two children’s prizes (under 18) of $100.

“Each library has its own character. It’s fun to discover what other libraries are like,”

White said. “It can make for a great day trip.”

Each participating library paid a small fee to cover the cost of the prizes. These li-braries are also handing out a gift to those who come to get their passport stamped.

This event, based on the Wine Trail Passport Pro-gram in Connecticut, will run through September, which is Library Card Sign Up Month.

“We really want to encour-age everyone to get their li-brary card,” White said. “Once you have an active and valid library card you can use it in any library in Connecticut.”

A delivery service is used between Connecticut librar-ies to transport materials re-quested, and allow people with a valid library card to borrow and return material from any location.

Plainville residents may obtain a free library card during operating hours by presenting a valid Plainville ID such as a driver’s license.

The Plainville Library is lo-cated at 56 East Main St. and can be contacted at (860) 793-

1446 or www.plainvillelibrary.org.

score game against Tolland. Also expected to contrib-ute will be junior Jonathan Lindgren, another offensive weapon from last season that helped to spell Fischer as the team’s top receiver when needed.

Outlook: Oh boy; this could be a tough season. A largely untested offensive unit could take some time before they’re able to get the team’s option offense down pat. While there’s no doubt the squad will develop and improve as the season con-tinues, it may be the 2015 PHS gridders who bring the Blue Devils north of .500 for the first time since 2010.

Girls swimming and diving

Head coach: Chris Zag-orski (second year).

Assistant: Robin Mills.Last year: The girls fin-

ished 5-9 during dual meets and finished 13th in the Class S finals with 142 points.

Key losses: Megan Farmer and Morgan LaCombe.

This season: The Blue Devils return several strong racers from last season’s squad: seniors Megan Dalena, Nicole Basile, and Molly Schade, juniors Sydney McGough and Taylor Rodg-ers, and sophomore Audrey Gediman. Zagorski also has a much better understanding of the talent at his disposal, making it through the gaunt-let as a first-year coach. “I’m excited to see what this team can do this season and I hope to improve upon last season’s record,” Zagorski said.

Outlook: Zagorski’s goal

to improve on last year should be well within reach for the girls. While losing Farmer and Lacombe sure doesn’t help, Zagorski was able to help the girls improve their finish in the Class S fi-nals from the year before he arrived. Coupling that with the team’s returning talent, especially that of Dalena and Basile from the Class of 2015, the Lady Blue Devils could contend for a top 10 finish at states.

VolleyballHead coach: Steve Comp-

son (seventh year).Assistant: Alle

Caponegro.Last year: Through mo-

ments where everything seemed to click and mo-ments where preparation just wasn’t enough, the girls ended their 2013 campaign with a 6-12 record.

Key losses: Marisa Rizzo, Alicia Gorski, Sarah Thomp-son, April Lemanski, and Mi-chelle Thibodeau.

This season: Senior Emilia Filipkowski, a seldom used asset last season, has stepped up as the team’s pre-season leader in kills. Join-ing Filipkowski as veteran

leaders this season will be seniors Emily Duda, Nadia Baretta, Sarah Abdelsame, and Stephanie Barbagallo, the last of whom has brought much-needed passion to the young squad. Sophomore Jes-sica Gorski should also help lead the underclassmen’s ef-forts in 2014.

Outlook: The girls en-joyed a rather successful campaign last fall compared to their 2012 season (2-15), yet don’t seem ready to make that next step. Watch-ing Filipkowski, who has developed greatly as a net defender and finisher, will be enjoyable, yet may prove to be one of the few individ-ual bright spots for the team. If the team can repeat their 6-12 mark from last year, the Lady Blue Devils will be able to consider this season a success.

Cross countryHead coach: Shaun Be-

rard (ninth year).Last year: The boys fin-

ished the regular season 4-3 while the girls finished with an opposite record of 3-4. The boys also finished ninth in the Class M state meet while the girls finished 17th

in Class SS.Key losses: Jordan Nichol-

son; Delaney Russell.This season: A strong

senior class returns for the boys, led by 2013 conference champion and All-State run-ner Omar Abdelsame. Join-ing him are his Class of 2015 cohorts Nino Freitas, Jake Dallas, and Ryan Sifuentes. Junior Jarod Romankiw will round out the boys starting five, while juniors Elizabeth Tata and Maddie Ware will lead a small girls squad.

Outlook: The Lady Blue Devils may have a very try-ing year ahead of them. Re-placing Russell’s impact will be a tall task, and may result in a few more L’s throughout the season. The boys should easily improve on last year’s finish at states. A stacked team could see them vying for second or third at their conference meet.

In terms of individual efforts, get used to saying Abdelsame’s name. “Omar Watch” should become a reg-ular event by midseason as the senior looks to improve upon his stellar perfor-mances from last year.

Gerald L. Bard PLAINVILLE — Gerald L. “Jerry” Bard, 64, of Plain-

ville, passed away with his family by his side after a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer, on Saturday,

Aug. 30, 2014. Born in Frenchville, Maine on Nov. 8, 1949, Jerry was one of three chil-dren to the late Nazaire and Annette (Belanger) Bard. Raised in Maine, he settled in Connecticut shortly before enlisting in the U.S. Army at the age of 19. He married the love of his life, Judy (Collin) that same year, with whom he shared 45 years of mar-riage and proudly raised a family of three. Jerry leaves a legacy of hard work and dedication at the Town of Plainville Roadways De-partment where he worked for close to 30 years, and leaves many friends and coworkers whom he great-ly missed this past year. He had a love for travelling, having many future plans

upon his retirement, and enjoyed deep sea fishing. Above all, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfa-ther, and friend, who could be called upon to help out whenever needed. He will be missed dearly, and re-membered for his strength, courage, and never ending sense of humor. In addition to his wife, Judy, he leaves his children, Danny Bard, of Farming-ton, Dean Bard, of Wolcott and Tina Bard, of Plainville; his adored grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Hailey, Tyler, Dean, and Alexandra; his sister, Doris Richard; brother, Carl Bard; several nieces and nephews; and two of his dearest friends, Paul Listro and Jean Tanguay. Funeral services in cele-bration of Jerry’s life were held on Monday, Sept. 8, from Bailey Funeral Home, 48 Broad St., Plainville, fol-lowed by a Mass of Chris-tian burial at Our Lady of Mercy Church. Committal services with military hon-ors was followed at St. Thomas Cemetery, South-ington. In lieu of flowers, Jerry may be remembered with contributions to the American Cancer Society at www.donate.cancer.org

phen J. Lachapelle, 21, of Plain-ville, passed away with his loving family by his side, on Thurs-day, Aug. 28,

2014, at Yale New Haven Hospital. Born in New Haven on May 21, 1993, he was one of three sons to Andrew and Nancy (Morris) Lacha-pelle. Stephen was a 2011 graduate of Plainville High School, and was currently in his senior year at Cen-tral Connecticut State University, from where he planned to pursue a ca-reer in elementary educa-tion. A sports enthusiast, he enjoyed playing golf, tennis and basketball, and cheering on his favor-ite teams, the New York Giants, New York Rang-ers, New York Knicks, and Tampa Bay Rays. He spent much of his time outdoors, going running or hiking and appreciat-ing the nature surround-

ing him. He will be greatly missed and remembered most by his family and many friends for his in-fectious love for life and passion for making others laugh with his tremendous sense of humor. In addition to his par-ents, he leaves his broth-ers, Michael, of Denver, Colo., and Gregory, of Washington, D.C.; his grandparents, Andrew and Theresa Lachapelle, of Southington and Rob-ert and Catherine Morris, of Homosassa, Fla.; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. A memorial service in celebration of Stephen’s life was held on Wednes-day, Sept. 3, at Bailey Funeral Home, 48 Broad St., Plainville.

Yesterday, both of my kids came downstairs dressed in white; a white tee for my 7-year-old son, and all

white for my 5-year-old daughter. They looked crisp and fresh, like they were ready for a day in Nan-tucket, but all I could see were

the future stains down their fronts. As I gave them morn-ing hugs, I thought, “Man, my kids have stinky breath,” and also “I need to make up a fresh batch of stain remover.”

Since I grew a few vegeta-bles this summer, I consider myself practically a home-steader, and now all I want are a few chickens and a goat. My husband says no, and I’m sure our neighbors appreciate his restraint. I may not be making my own cheese and butter yet, but I do like saving a buck, and I use homemade cleaners on occasion.

One of those homemade concoctions is this incredi-bly easy, super inexpensive stain remover that is only two ingredients!

In a spray bottle, mix to-gether one part Dawn dish soap (the old-school blue kind) and two parts hydro-gen peroxide.

Spray on stains, and laun-der as usual.

Behold, the magic of the

easiest homemade stain re-mover ever!

I’ve used this stuff on fur-niture fabric and grout, too, and I love it.

Usually, I mix up small batches, because if the hy-drogen peroxide is exposed to light for too long, it will lose its effectiveness. To-day’s batch was ¼ cup Dawn and ½ cup peroxide, and it was enough for eight stained garments and the grout of a small bathroom floor.

For the bathroom tile grout, I sprayed it on, left it for about 30 minutes, and wiped it away. There were some stubborn stains, since I hadn’t scrubbed the grout for an embarrassingly long time, so I took an old toothbrush that is now used for cleaning small spaces, and attacked the spots that

needed it. I then took a wet rag, and wiped everything down, since a solution made from dish soap can make a floor pretty slippery. I may have learned that lesson the hard way.

As always, you’ll want to test a small spot of fabric before dousing your stuff in this remover, but I’ve used it on many items, including dark-colored clothing, and haven’t encountered a prob-lem yet.

If your household is like mine, it is heavy on the stains. We play hard and live

fun, messy lives, which make for dirty clothing. Couple that with the fact that my son can’t seem to break the habit of using his shirt to wipe his face. Maybe he’s just being environmentally friendly and saving a napkin.

What are you waiting for? Mix up some homemade stain remover, and spray the spot on the front of that one shirt you haven’t been able to wear since you dripped Buffalo wing sauce on it. After that, go buy yourself a coffee with the money you’re saving.

Pesky stains? No problemBy Amy FlorySpecial to The Citizen

Kathy Pugliese, Republican candidate for the 22nd State Representative position, has requested a public debate with Elizabeth Boukus, the current State Representative of the 22nd District.

The 22nd District is comprised of Plain-ville and a section of New Britain.

In a letter dated August 26, 2014 Pugliese stated: “The state of Connecticut is facing challenges affecting all citizens and busi-ness alike. It is important for all voters of the 22nd District to become educated about topics crucial to them and the future direc-

tion of our state. A public discussion by you and me could bring clarity and definition to the issues we all face.”

To date, neither Rep. Boukus nor her cam-paign chairperson have responded to the request.

In closing, Pugliese noted: “My opponent has been in office for 20 years. As the chal-lenger in this race, I must reach out to our voters with my plan for long term solutions to ensure the survival of Plainville, New Britain and the State of Connecticut.”

-- Press Release

Pugliese seeks debateState Representative Elizabeth “Betty” Boukus of Plain-

ville has been endorsed by both the American Federation of Teachers and the Connecticut Education Association for her re-election to the General Assembly. Boukus represents the 22nd District which includes all of Plainville and part of New Britain.

In announcing the two endorsements, Boukus states: “As a graduate of Plainville’s public schools and as someone who began her career here as a teacher at Frank T. Wheeler School, I am deeply honored with this endorsement from Connecticut’s two major teacher groups.

“Teachers are the backbone of education. They work tire-lessly with our children to provide instruction and create environments in which optimum learning can take place. Having their support means the world to me. I will always advocate for what is best for students, teachers and schools and I will continue to work hard for programs and projects that benefit the students of Plainville and New Britain.”

Boukus gets teachers’ backing

The Town of Plainville has an on-demand policy for bulk pickup. Residents who have curbside trash and recycling collection from the town can request one bulk pickup per calendar year for items that do not fit in normal trash collection. The one-time pickup is free of charge. Residents who did not schedule a pickup in the spring may schedule the one-time free bulk pickup for fall. Bulk collection is scheduled for Mondays, through Oct 27. For a list of acceptable bulk items and restrictions, visit the Public Works page at www.plainvillect.com. Bulk items should not be placed curbside more than 24 hours before scheduled pickup and may not block or create a safety concern for side-walks, walkways or the roadway. For more information and to schedule a pickup, call (860) 793-6721.

Cyprus, an island just south of Turkey with a population of 800,000 according to eu-ropa.eu, which also says it is the largest island in the Mediterranean.

Barnes, who puts facts about the animals on the back of every painting, said her latest work is more detailed and interesting, and includes drawings of animals she said are considered “critically en-dangered by the World Wild-life Foundation.”

According to marthastew-art.com, American Made spotlights the maker, sup-ports the local, and celebrates the handmade.

Finalists are selected from four categories in crafts, de-sign, food, and style and are judged on creativity and in-novation, appearance, work-manship, and “embodiment of the American Made theme.”

Barnes is one of 142 final-ists in crafts as of the time of this writing. Finalists stopped being chosen Sept. 9. Voting goes from Sept. 15 to Oct. 13, with the winner being an-nounced Oct. 17.

Describing herself as “ner-vous and excited” as she awaits the news, Barnes, who just started her business in the spring, is hoping for a good month sales-wise at Christmas time.

She has no doubt that she is on the right road.

“When coincidences hap-pen, you are on the right path. I am on the right path and I love doing it. We’ll see where this goes,” she said.

Barnes’ current work of art is coming alive on a can-vas using green and black oil paints to display cormorant, peacock, and crane birds with some foliage in the background.

regularly around this issue, so that we have a vehicle to communicate publicly about what is going on,” he said. “I think we will need a few more field trips like the one we did in Southington when we start to look at different vendors, because there are pros and cons for each vendor.”

Kitching also suggested the BOE meet to discuss how to move forward after the coun-cil votes on Oct. 6.

In addition to the grant dis-cussion, PHS Principal Steve LePage spoke Monday night about a schedule change that is taking place at the high school, saying it will help or-ganize class schedules.

“We just changed the rota-tion to a much simpler rota-tion,” the principal said. “We have A-H day, with eight dif-ferent scheduled days. A day is periods one through six, B

day is classes 7, 8, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Classes 5, 6, 7, 8, 1 and 2 are on C day, and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are on D day. It repeats so E day is the same as A, F is the same as B, G is the same as C, and H is the same as D.”

Daniel Costantini, a PHS student, recently elected as a liaison between the school and the BOE, spoke with The Citizen after the meet-ing about what he hopes to accomplish.

“I would just like to give them (the board) an insight, and put them in a position where they can have an accu-rate picture of what the PHS climate is like,” he said.

“I had to get nominated by teachers, so that was an honor,” Costantini explained. “My brother served as a liai-son a couple years ago, so I wanted to do it, and I feel like it is a high-ranking position.”

The case of First & 8

The 2014 Connecticut high school football season kicked off this week when Cheshire hosted Ridgefield in Round 2 of the SCC-FCIAC Challenge.

It was the start of a season unlike any that’s preceded it and, perhaps, unlike any that will follow.

2014 will be the season when Connecticut crowns eight football champions. Traditionally, there have been four. During two stretches, when Class MM and SS were in place between 1981-94 and 2002-09, there were six.

This year — and this year alone — there will be eight.

The four traditional classes remain (LL, L, M, S), but the eight teams that qualify in each will be subdivided by enrollment (LL Large, LL Small, etc.) and they will play

semifinal and championship games in the two weeks that follow Thanksgiving.

Next year, the format re-verts to four champs decided by three rounds of playoffs, which has been the case since 2010. The difference is strict new contact limitations for practices which will be in place in an effort to reduce the physical pounding players take in those two-plus weeks between Thanksgiving and Championship Saturday, a 16-day span in which finalists play four games.

The driving force in all this, of course, is the issue that dominates the football land-scape from pros to Pee Wees: player safety. In particular: concussions.

The National Federation

of High Schools has handed down new rules hoping to crack down on blows to the head.

A state law passed earlier this year requires schools to educate all parents and ath-letes on the signs and symp-toms of concussions and return-to-play protocols. Moreover, all parents and athletes must sign off that they’ve been so educated or else the athlete can’t play.

That applies to all sports. What the CIAC has done in particular with football is en-act limitations on the amount of full person-to-person con-tact teams can engage in during practice.

The CIAC approved one set for 2014 at the end of last season and then, earlier this

year, a more stringent set that goes into effect in 2015.

Here are the 2014 limits on full contact, which is defined as drills or game simulations conducted at game speed in full pads in which players are tackled to the ground:

• Preseason Weeks 2-4: Up to 120 minutes per week during practice plus one scrimmage. If a second scrim-mage is played in a week, the 120 practice minutes are re-duced to 60.

• Regular season: Up to 90 minutes per week.

• Postseason: Up to 60 min-utes per week.

Starting in 2015, no full contact will be allowed in practice after Week 9 of the regular season, which will be limited to 10 games with a

built-in bye week.There are no time restric-

tions on “wrap” or “thud” contact in which players re-main on their feet. Nor are there restrictions on drills executed against bags or any other soft-contact surfaces.

To a man, area head coaches are fine with the new rules. With myriad reasons to protect their players, they al-ready winnow down contact as the season goes on.

It’s simple common sense. Preseason is the time to work the tackling and blocking hard, coaches say. As the sea-son goes on and bumps and bruises mount, the health of players dictates practices be-come less physical.

“Speaking for myself and a lot of the coaches I’ve spoken to, this is something we’ve al-ready been doing on our own

for a long, long time,” said Lyman Hall coach Rob Ma-rone. “Very rarely do I talk

to a coach in the area, or any-where else for that matter, who is tackling all week long ... If guys aren’t learning how to tackle or get tough or all that good stuff early on in the season, it’s not usually some-thing that starts happening on November first.”

Across town, Sheehan coach John Ferrazzi said, “We were pretty much in line, close to it already. We’re used to having low numbers, so we changed our practice philos-ophy within the last four-five years. We don’t do as much full contact, going-to-the-ground type contact as we used to. There are times we

have to do that — most are at this time of year — but we’ve really scaled that back and focus more on technique and player safety.”

At the same time, there is some chafing at the CIAC’s need to regulate. There is concern that, by limiting full contact in practice — espe-cially to nothing after Week 9 starting next year — play-ers will become more prone to injury on game night.

“I understand what they’re doing and I’m certainly going to play within the rules,” said Platt coach Jason Bruenn. “It doesn’t really complicate what we do because we’ve al-ways been a ‘thud’ team. For safety, we don’t tackle to the ground a lot. My fear is when you start limiting your ability to have contact ... you limit the ability to teach technique.

“In the college realm, in the NFL realm, those guys have had hundreds and hun-dreds of reps,” Bruenn added. “Many of these kids, ninth grade is their first year play-ing. Yeah, we do form tackle, we hit sleds and do all those other things, but if you go into a game and you don’t know how to live tackle somebody, that’s when you’re going to get even more hurt.”

“I don’t think any smart coach is beating his kids up; you just can’t do it any more,” echoed Xavier coach Sean Marinan. “What concerns me is we’re going to regulate so much of the contact out of practice that, when the kids get to the game, they’re going to be susceptible to injury.”

The Senior Center is get-ting ready to kick off its an-nual tag sale, which will be held Tuesday, Sept. 16 to ben-efit its transportation pro-gram. The tag sale will run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with free ad-mission or $1 for early bird admission from 9:30 to 10 a.m.

“This is a good way to help people clean out their closets and can really be a service for

those looking to downsize,” Ronda Guberman, assistant director of the Senior Cen-ter, said.

Items for sale include household knick-knacks, tools, small furniture, jewelry, kids toys, games, puzzles and books.

Last year, the tag sale raised $1,100 and the Senior Center is hoping this year’s event will raise the same, if not more. “We typically get

a couple hundred people, be-tween members of the com-munity and from the senior center,” Guberman said.

Proceeds from the tag sale will benefit the Dial-A-Ride program that is provided for Senior Center members.

“Last year we provided 6,500 rides,” Guberman said. “This service is important to our members.”

More than a dozen volun-teers from the Senior Center

will set up, organize and man the sale next Tuesday.

The tag sale will not have food for sale but the Senior Center Café will be open that day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Senior Center has been accepting donations from the community and will continue to do so until clos-ing at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15. Items that are not sold at the tag sale are donated to other organizations holding similar

fundraising events. Items that will not be ac-

cepted for the tag sale include clothes, shoes, TVs, com-puters, microwaves, fitness equipment, or large furniture.

The tag sale will be held at the Senior Center, located at 200 East St.

For more information on the tag sale, or programs and services at the Senior Center, call (860) 747-5728.
